Anne is a PhD student in the Department of City and Regional Planning with a focus on low-income housing, urban sustainability, changing urban structures and social change.  Her current research focuses on metropolitan mobile home parks, examining how the recent wave of closures and the increasing ownership consolidation is affecting low-income park residents and the larger communities of which they are a part.

Anne has worked as a research associate for non-profit Sustainable Conservation, investigating opportunities and barriers to developing green housing in California, as well as creating a program design; in environmental consulting with EIP Associates, writing environmental impact documents for urban infill projects in San Francisco; and as an administrator for Bay Area housing developer Holliday Development. Her love of architectural design and urban history also led her to work with the Environmental Design Archives at Berkeley in cataloguing collections.  Anne has also been a graduate student instructor for several interdisciplinary undergraduate courses in the College of Environmental Design at Berkeley including American Cultural Landscapes, Introduction to Environmental Design, and People and Environment, and last summer she was the instructor of an introductory course on architectural design for high school students.  On the weekends, she volunteers at the Oakland Animal Shelter.
